Abstract
A fluid distribution system has a microfluidic device that has a main channel with a plurality of branches extending therefrom. The main channel has a length. The main channel and the branches are coupled through a plurality of apertures with aperture diameters. The aperture diameters progressively increase along said length of the main channel to allow fluid to more evenly be distributed to the branches.
